Envy our climate?! Not with a corinthian helmet on! Today i got badly sunburnt in the farm and i really don't feel very fond of our climate!
But i like your impression. Somehow i feel that "Thessalian lord" was the right description. This marvelous cup wouldn't have been in the hands of everybody,and Thessalians always and today are the most prestigious farmers in Greece.Vast lands and impressive lifestyle,with few lords(no doubt the famous hippeis) rulling big farms of unthinkable size for the rest of Greece.
